December 2022 Release: Tables Customization, New Design Components, More Custom Font Upload Slots

Welcome, 2023! 🥳 While we have plans for many exciting improvements and new features this year, we wrapped up December 2022 with a ribbon of more options to customize your visuals. It truly was a time of giving.

Following November’s theme, in December, we continued to provide you with more options to make your visual outstanding and engaging. Got your New Year’s Resolution ready? Let’s learn about what’s new below to help with your visual needs this year.

• Tables Customization
• New Design Components
• More Custom Font Upload Slots
• Work Anniversary templates
• Cloud Computing Infographic templates
• Social Media Carousel templates
• Chinese New Year templates

Back in November, we released our new and improved tables. We knew you would have wanted more ways of customizing them, and we delivered.

Ensuring brand consistency is not just about using the correct font family but also ensuring that the brand colors are consistent. Previously, you could only change the colors of your text within the tables.

With our newest improvement, you now have further control over the table’s cell and border color!

If you have any color schemes applied to your visual, this will make your work even easier.

After applying a color scheme to the table according to your liking, changing to other color schemes will always ensure that it stays consistent—and legible—without needing you to fiddle with them manually. It’s that simple!

Your visual just got elevated that bit more for brand consistency.

We’ve always envisioned the Piktochart Visual editor to be easy to use and help to bridge the design knowledge gap of translating your content into visual elements. That was the inspiration behind our initial feature of Design Components—to be a collection of elements for all your needs.

Over time, as we’ve continued to learn about your visual needs more, it necessitates that we create more and more of such components. That’s what we set out to do, and we’ve now got you covered on many use cases!

We’ve got you covered, from complex visualization like timelines to simpler ones like a photo grid. This ensures that on top of our Charts, Maps, and Tables, all of the complementary parts of your visual content can also be more engaging to help deliver your message effectively.

But that’s not all. As we added more Design Components (and will continue to do so), we quickly realized that it would be a huge list for you to browse through. As such, we made them searchable as well.

Your search keyword will go through all the different Design Components to surface the correct result for you to use in your visual: lesser endless scrolling and quicker access to what you need.

As a bonus, we’ve also added a section for 3D icons!

Yes, you’ve read that right. Alongside our widely used Illustration icons, you can now find all the 3D icons to keep up with the trend. Time to make your designs go “wow”!

The Piktochart Visual editor provides more than 400 font families to choose from to customize your visual. As a Piktochart Pro or Enterprise Plan subscriber, you could upload your own font family to be used.

However, previously there was a limit of 10 custom fonts that you could upload as a Piktochart Pro or Enterprise Plan subscriber. As of this improvement, Enterprise Plan subscribers will now have two times more upload slots, allowing up to 20 custom font families to be uploaded!

This comes at no extra cost if you’re already on the Enterprise plan. If you’re a Free plan user or a Pro plan subscriber wanting to upgrade for more benefits, you can reach out to Sarah, our Sales Executive, to get a customized quotation.

Celebrating work anniversaries has become a part of today’s company culture. Share your gratitude and tell your coworkers how much you appreciate them on their work anniversary through a personalized poster. 

With Piktochart, creating a customized poster is easier than ever. Pick one from an array of templates and start customizing the colors, fonts, and images to your liking. Add icons, illustrations, or decorative elements that are available for free in the Piktochart editor. 

And here are some of our favorite work anniversary poster designs.

Cloud computing infographic templates contain list and comparison layouts to help you break down complex information into an easily digestible one. 

You can use infographics as a visual aid to present comprehensive information.

From company benefits to product and service instructions, you can customize and change them to your topic.

Create engaging social media carousel posts and ads that will increase awareness and improve the conversion of your product or service. 

Three simple steps to design an engaging social media carousel post:

1. Pick one of your favorite carousel templates in Piktochart, change the text and write a compelling story that flows through the cards. 
2. Highlight your product or service by showcasing product images or using icons and illustrations available for free in the Piktochart editor.
3. Make it stick—change the fonts and colors according to your branding.

Whether to invite your family and friends or to share well wishes with your loved ones, we’ve got you covered. These beautifully designed templates include Chinese New Year ornaments and auspicious messages you can personalize or use directly. 

Here are some of our favorite designs. Which one will you use?

Enjoy the new resources, and see you next month with another monthly update!
